‘NO POLITICS,' M'NUTT EDICT TO STATE COPS ‘You Represent All of the People,’ Governor Tells Officers. “You represent all of the people. Play no politics. We will uphold your hand. I want to report to the Governors’ conference in August that our state has the best force in the country.” That was the advice given the newly uniformed state policemen Wednesday as they took the field after two days of school at the statehouse. It came from Governor Paul V. McNutt, who addressed them as they were lined up in Jthe corridor by Captain Matt Leach. To assure carrying out of the “no favoritism” advice of the Governor, A1 Feeney, head of the state safety department, ordered each uniformed man to take off any jewelry representing lodge, club, church or other affiliation. This included pins of the American Legion, to which most of the members of the force belong. COURT FIGHT FOR 3 CHILDREN DISMISSED Judge Refuses to Modify Order Making Them Wards of Court.

Circus Press Agents Grieve; Gorgeous Adjectives Barred

Barrels of New Words Go to Waste by Order of Ringling Czar. BY A. J. LIEBLING Timrs Special Writer NEW YORK, May 4 —Had Samuel W. Gumpertz, general manager of Ringling Bras, and Barnum and Bailey’s combined circus, merely ordered a change in the leopards i spots, Buck Jones, the animal boss, | would have arranged the matter. Already an elephant has received a coat of gilt at Gumpertz’s command. But when Gumpertz ordered the | circus press agents to change their vocabularies he invited a crisis. “So he don’t like vastidities!” shouted General Press Agent Roland Butler when he received the news yesterday that the chief executive wanted press stuff that “any child could comprehend ” Ruined by Dictionary “He don’t like vastidities!” Butler laughed bitterly. “Vastidities is a colorful word, a word that I never have seen used before by a living human being,” he said. “It is hard enough to put punch in your copy without being hogtied by a Webster’s Dictionary.” It appeared that that immediate break between Gumpertz and Butler had come on the phrase, “A preponderation of vastidities in the mammoth hippodrome oval,” and "An overwhelming attroupement of stupendous innovations staggering to the human mind to enumerate or contemplate.” Maybe a Peter Rabbit Tale “Hell.” said Butler, “I’m glad I still got my typewriter. Maybe I can write a Peter Rabbit story about the circus. ‘Now, little children, little Clyde Beatty is going to play with his little striped pussycats.’ "Vastidities is a darb of a word.” Ora O. Parks, Frank Braden, William L. Wilken and Charles Kannely. his subordinates, draped in attitudes of despair around the press room nodded. "Next thing he’ll go for apogee,” Butler predicted, bringing a mighty fist crashing down upon the table. "Zacchini no longer will be propelled by violent velocity from the mouth of a monster cannon, but playfully popped pat-a-cake. pat-a-cake-baker’s man into a nice, soft net. Damned if I wouldn’t as % soon do press stuff for a string quartet.” But the gray-toned and bespec-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Samuel W. Gumpertz Brothers’ Golden Jubilee, as it pereginates its proudful paths this season. But there should be a line somewhere. I have appointed Dexter Fellows official stylist for the circus.” < Found in his suite at the Hotel Forrest, where with Mrs. Fellows, a host of friends and a bale of assorted roses and telegrams he was celebrating the twentieth anniversary of his marriage, the Nestor of the press staff reacted with his usual caution. “Have you ever thought, young man, that this may be just a publicity device?” he inqured. “In my opinion new' barrels of adjectives should be broken open for the Durbar of Delhi alone. “The dictionary should be torn to shreds.” Mr. Fellows went on. “Cataclysmic is a mild w’ord indeed applied to the rutilant redundancy of regalistic revelry presented in the Durbar. “Cosmically colossal is a bit I have been revolving in my lexicon for a while. It is not quite rich enough for this unit. “The theory of circus publicity always has been, ‘the bigger the words, the harder they fall’. But Mr. Gumpertz is the boss, and if he w'ants simplicity, I’ll certainly see that he gets it. “However, I don’t think it’s fair to his show. Really I don’t. Now if it were just some little wagon show, stupendous might be an adequate adjective.”

HOLMES PATCHES UP FEUD WITH SHERIFF j Assault Suit Is Dismissed Shortly Before Trial. The dove of peace circled closely ; today around Ira M. Holmes, In- J diahapolis attorney, and Sheriff Charles (Buck) Sumner, with dismissal of Holmes’ suit against Sumner for $25,000 damages for assault and battery. “He’s satisfied and I am too; so everything is O. K.,” Holmes stated today. The suit was dismissed shortly before it w'as to be tried in the Franklin circuit court Wednesday. Holmes indicated the sheriff had made a “satisfactory settlement,” although he did not state the amount. It w'as reported at Franklin that Holmes withdrew the case and Sumner paid the costs. The attorney had charged that Sumner hit him and inflicted a cut on his forehead at the Marion county jail June 30C 1931. This happened, the suit alleged, when Holmes visited the jail for purpose of seeing a client, Lewes E. Hamilton, later convicted of the murder of Lafayette A. Jackson, Indianapolis chain store operator. Editor Is “Just a Reporter” By United I'rcxx AMARILLO.
